A Quick View report shows a graphical representation of the selected data followed by a simple table. Quick View reports point out the "top," "bottom," or "trend" of web sites visited, programs used, users involved in an activity, and so on. You can display data in:
Horizontal or Vertical Bar charts
Pie charts
Spline charts
You don't see ALL the data; instead, you see at a glance where the biggest numbers are. The majority of reports provided by Spector 360 are Quick View reports, revealing facts such as "Users Sending the Most Webmail" or "Users Consuming the Most Internet Bandwidth."
